Politicians do not have to disclose job negotiations while in office, and also do not have to disclose how much they're paid after leaving office. But it is probably not a coincidence that former Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) spent his last year in office fighting reforms to the derivatives marketplace, and then upon leaving office joined that board a derivatives trading company and became an "advisor" to Goldman Sachs.
